¶ Entonces vienen a l los saduceos, que dicen que no hay resurreccin, y le preguntaron, diciendo:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 12:18
Verse 18. See this question, concerning the resurrection, explained in detail on Matt. xxii. 23-32.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Then came unto him the Sadducees , etc..] The same day, immediately after he had silenced the Pharisees and Herodians: these were a set of men distinct from the former, in some of their sentiments, especially in their religions ones, and particularly in the following: which say there is no resurrection : of the dead, in a literal sense, either general or particular; (see Gill on Matthew 22:23); and they asked him, saying ; as in the next verse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-27 - A right knowledge of the Scripture, as the fountain whence all reveale religion now flows, and the foundation on which it is built, is the best preservative against error. Christ put aside the objection of the Sadducees, who were the scoffing infidels of that day, by setting the doctrine of the future state in a true light. The relation betwee husband and wife, though appointed in the earthly paradise, will not be known in the heavenly one. It is no wonder if we confuse ourselves with foolish errors, when we form our ideas of the world of spirits by the affairs of this world of sense. It is absurd to think that the livin God should be the portion and happiness of a man if he is for eve dead; and therefore it is certain that Abraham's soul exists and acts though now for a time separate from the body. Those that deny the resurrection greatly err, and ought to be told so. Let us seek to pas through this dying world, with a joyful hope of eternal happiness, an of a glorious resurrection.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
18. Who (oitinev). This pronoun marks the Sadducees as a class: of that party characterized by their denial of the resurrection. Asked (ephrwtwn). Stronger. They questioned.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:18 {There come unto him Sadducees} (ercontai saddoukaioi pros auton). Dramatic present. The Pharisees and Herodians had had their turn after the formal committee of the Sanhedrin had been so completely routed. It was inevitable that they should feel called upon to show their intellectual superiority to these raw Pharisaic and Herodian theologians. See on Mt 22:23-33 for discussion of details. It was a good time to air their disbelief in the resurrection at the expense of the Pharisees and to score against Jesus where the Sanhedrin and qen the Pharisees and Herodians had failed so ignominiously.
